Please feel free to vote for up to 4 products, and if you could give reasons, that would be great too!

I love the MEQ because it allows me to carve out the mud or unwanted gack from toms and guitar amp captures. I love the V because it tames the harshness and adds a magical syrup and is more tone than anything, even when doing 15db gain reduction I love the 76a because it truly is faster than a speeding bullet and brings the brightness back in at 12:1 like nothing else! I love the D-Comp cause it lives on room mics and squeezes every bit of juice out of those luscious ripe oranges.  |

V Cause it sounds great. Bigger than life. I've also got the GSSL, a pair of EQP's, and the D. All are solid. And I didn't have to wait years for them. LOL. You just have to be quick on the draw with your credit card. Next up - a second V. After that maybe 1 or 2 3a's. I'm already kinda overstocked on 3a's. But they ARE tempting me..... |

V Comp because of the warmth and saturation. It can pocket a vocal and bass great!! We've used it recently in parallel on trumpet, and I loved it!
76a because of the presence and aggression. Really brings a vocal forward and in your face!
Opto, it can really smooth out any source and the coloration is great. Mine is a little different, it has original iron and sounds amazing!!

So which one do I need for the lead vocal? I want to say Optó because LA2A is such a classic choice. I’m already tracking with a U67 into a Tree Audio The Branch or Heritage TT-73.

I've used the Opto, V and D. The V and D are awesome. The opto legit blew my mind though, so that gets my vote. Can't go wrong with any of them, that's for sure.

Twould be nice to have a 176 version by audioscape AGREED 100% !!! MORE TUBE COMPESSORS!!!! 😁👍 Seriously though - THANK YOU ALL for such amazing feedback and all the LOVE (❤) in this thread!! Special shout to Ward for creating it!! We <3 you all SO MUCHHHHHH!!! Great things are on the horizon.... our first 500-series preamp and something else... a "utility piece" that has a few extra twists for ultimate "fun" factor in a product that can otherwise, often times - be kind of boring 😎😉 |

I have the opto, v-comp and 76F. Haven't got near enough hands on time with going back to essentially full time in the ER since the pandemic to truly appreciate the differences and have only used so far with some older live band tracks (not very well recorded) that I'm trying to remix. So far have tried on lead vocal, bass and drum buss - and all sound great. Need more experience to declare a "winner" - especially with tracking - but they all add something special to a track when patched in. Want to add a pair of 3A's when I can grab some, in the meantime I'll enjoy what I have.  |

Adding 2 V3A to my audioscape family - but won't add to my vote since I haven't actually used yet (although I'm pretty sure they will blow me away like the other AS products already have)

I love the opto and 1176 the most so far
Haven’t used the pultec, MEQ and buss comp that much yet because I have been waiting on the Silver bullet to arrive (which happens to be today btw).
